computers
low voltage kitchen appliances ,like toasters ,mixers ,
Water pumps

and if you have enough panels and enough batteries .probably washing machines ,and micro waves as well.

Answer by tretston
First and foremost, you are speaking about photovoltaic panels. These harness solar energy and convert it to electricity. The downside to these is that they are expensive, even though you will see a massive return on your electric bill in usually 5-7 years. The photovoltaic panels produce DC electricity, so if you want to power your home appliances you will need an inverter that takes DC electricity and converts it to AC (since nearly all home appliances run off of AC). You will also need a battery and an optional but very useful charge controller. The battery stores electricity that is generated from the sun to be used on cloudy days. The charge controller is the brains of the operation and deciphers how much electricity should go to the appliance(s) or the battery.

Simple answer.

Anything you can power with your normal household electric can be powered by solar.

So you know what a solar panel is:

A “solar panel” is more then one solar module mounted on a frame to be installed as a single unit into a solar array.

Next question is normally what is a solar module:

A “solar module” is a bunch of solar cells mounted together with a clear front and a white backing.

Solar is something that you install on your home so you do not have to rent electric power from the public utility. It has a massive upfront cost but will pay it’s self and you then own something. Like if you rent a home you end up with nothing but if you purchase a home you pay a huge upfront payment and in the end you own it and can sell it for a profit.

Yes you can run your A/C unit from Solar Electric.

As stated above. Anything you can run from the pubilc utility can be ran from solar. If it is in your home and running from electric right now you can run it from solar.

NO Turning off the socket has no effect, there must be something plugged into it and “ON ” before there is any effect.

Answer by Beetle
If theres nothing drawing current from the receptacle then turning the breaker off doesnt save any money. Your only charged for electricity thats used not whats in the line.

Answer by maddawg351
As long as the appliance is not plugged in, there is no effect to the power consumption by turning the plug off. However many appliances, even when off, will use a small amount of power constantly. Individualy this is so small that it is hardly noticible, but if you keep many things plugged in it adds up.

Even if you do keep them all plugged in the ammount saved on your electric bill by turning off the plugs will be only pennies. Most people do not think its worth the hassle for the savings.

Nope, the amount of power usage (in watts – which is Volts multiplied by amps) will always be the same. E.g. if you connect, say, an appliance that takes 2 amps at 220v (2 Amps x 220 Volts = 440 Watts) into a 110v socket, it will take 4 amps (4 Amps x 110 Volts = 440 Watts), so the power usage will still be the same.
